Steering is fixed, now another issue

I put a Red Head box on my 07 F250 PSD and It fixed the issue, now the other I have a 8 inch lift and 37 inch tires and Im finding that Im not setting off the drive thru sensors at different places am I to tall? I thought they worked by weight.

I have had it happen to me and my tires are only about 35 inches tall. Most are done by weight sensors but some have some sort of proximity sensor and some trucks are too tall and it does not see them.

Not by weight. There is a loop in the ground which has a magnetic field. When you drive over the loop it changes the readings of the magnetic field where it indicates a vehicle is there. Same thing for a red light camera.

I thought that there was a garden gnome that was in the bushes below the sign, next to the speaker. He used his hand held radio and communicated ahead to the drive through worker that there is a car I the drive way.

I think a train horn will set off about any sensor you need to set off.

They sell magnets and other gadgets that help improve the trip rate. Typically used by bikes and motorcycles.
